September 2037
Aaron was getting ready but also had his eyes through the door that lead to the front of the bakery, the Hunters were taking care of the front including Sabrina Minkus and her best friend: Natalie Friar. The anticipation was tense for Aaron as he knew today was a huge day if things go his way, but if things go wrong, he knows he must be on guard at all times until the heat dies down. 10 minutes would pass, then an hour until it drew closer to the scheduled 5:30pm time that it was agreed upon. At around 5:15pm, Ruben and Stephen showed up at the usual time they would typically show up to nobody's surprise since they were pretty much regulars. "Hey Aaron! Ruben and Stephen are here!" Natalie called to her brother.
"Alright I'll be on break for 30 minutes." Aaron said as he left his station working on an Oreo Cheesecake one of the bakery's best sellers to meet up with his friends.
"Yo Aaron, watch yourself out there." Anthony told his best friend having Aaron's back.
"Thanks bro." Aaron told his best friend. Aaron walked out to the front of the bakery where Ruben and Stephen were sitting near the bakery window that Riley and Maya used to sit at all the time. Now it has been passed on to the next generation. Aaron, Anthony, Natalie, and Sabrina would use that window as well.
"Hey man, you ready for this?" Stephen asked his friend greeted him with a bro hug followed by Ruben.
"Well, time to man up right?" Aaron said with little hesitation.
"Aaron, shouldn't you be working?" Riley asked as she entered the front door along with Maya, Farkle, Cory, and Vanessa.
"I'm on break mom." Aaron answered his mother.
"Ok just don't be on break for too long ok honey?" Riley told her son.
"Got it." Aaron understood.
A few more minutes passed by until three figures entered the bakery all of them walking up to Riley at the cashier position.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for Aaron Frair. I hear he works here and I need to talk to him." One of the figures asked Riley.
"Sure, may I ask who's wanting his attention?" Riley asked politely.
"Joanna Meyer." Joanna said identifying herself.
"YOU!" Riley hissed at Joanna.
"Riley, what's the matter?" Maya said as she got her apron and walked over to her disturbed best friend who was a little furious to say the least.
"It's her! The girl who took my baby boy's virginity!" Riley said almost breaking down.
"Ok honey, come on to the back and we'll talk about it." Maya said rubbing Riley's back as she comforted the disturbed Riley as Aaron walked over to Joanna and the two other people beside her.
"Hey Joanna." Aaron said greeting himself to the girl whose virginity he took on Saturday.
"Hey Aaron, I hope my sister and her boyfriend are ok to sit with us while we talk." Joanna said as Paulina and Darren looked a little tense to say the least.
"Hey Paulina! What are you doing here?" John asked drying his hands with a towel walking up to the popular junior.
"Hey John! Darren, Joanna, and I are here to talk with Aaron about Saturday's incident." Paulina replied to John as he set his towel back on the rack nearby.
"Aaron, I told you not to fuck up and look what happened!" John whispered in Aaron's ear now worried about Aaron's safety.
"I know I screwed up John and I'm really sorry! I never intended to hurt Joanna honest to God!" Aaron said swearing his honesty to John.
"Either way, good thing you're here to make peace while you can, look I'll be watching from the door to make sure nothing shady happens ok." John said as he left Aaron with the Meyers and Darren Durant.
"Ok so let's talk." Aaron said as he escorted the group to a nearby booth that is in perfect site that John could see everything.
"We're coming too!" Ruben said following Aaron.
"Nope, this is between us and Aaron alone." Paulina said stopping Ruben and Stephen. Aaron's friends felt helpless the only thing they can do for Aaron now was to have his back and watch. Aaron went in the booth where he was surrounded. He sat across Joana and Paulina Meyer and on top of that one of the best basketball players coming up from New York is across from him. Daren Durant is a 6 foot 4-inch-tall Point Guard that is a Senior! He has impressed many throughout the years and is planning to be accepted into the University of North Carolina the same University that molded: Michal Jordan and Vince Carter two very well-known NBA Players known for their dunking skills but still had legendary careers.
"Ok Aaron, let's get to it, anything you wanna say to Joanna?" Paulina said opening the conversation.
"Well first of all I want to apologize for being rough when we had sex together." Aaron said as he turned to Joanna making his apology.
"Yeah you better be sorry you ass hole!" Joanna said still angry at him.
"LANGUAGE!" Shawn shouted at Joanna with his great hearing skills.
"Sorry sir." Joanna apologized to the elder with his brownish greyish beard as he shook his head at them.
"Anyway, yeah you know you were really rough like what got into you it was like you hated me!" Joanna told Aaron as Aaron knew he couldn't admit his jealousy that Chloe was with Chris. The memory of Chloe dancing on Chris' lap began to eat his soul again.
"Hey look who it is!" Natalie raised her voice happily as Chloe walked into the bakery with Chris.
"Unbelievable!" Aaron muttered to himself at Chloe's and Chris' awful timing.
"What's wrong?" Darren asked the Freshmen as Paulina and Joanna looked over where Natalie hugged Chloe.
"Oh! It's that server girl huh? Got a thing for her?" Paulina asked Aaron not knowing she was referring to Natalie.
"Oh God no! That's incest! That's my sister! What's the matter with you Paulina!" Aaron exclaimed with a disgusted look on his face.
"Watch your words kid!" Darren said defending Paulina.
"Oh…I think I get it now." Joanna said putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
"What?" Aaron said in a clueless tone in his voice.
"You like Chloe Wakefield right?" Joanna asked.
"Chloe Carpenter! Aaron corrected her.
"That just proves it!" Joanna said noticing Aaron correcting her validating the fact that Aaron does have feelings for Chloe.
"You like Chloe don't you." Joanna said placing her head down.
"Yes." Aaron admitted quietly that only Joanna, Paulina, and Darren could hear him.
"But that still doesn't give you the right to bang my sister too hard!" Paulina exclaimed not giving him any reason to defend himself for his actions. John hears Paulina raising her voice at Aaron causing a scene as Chloe and Chris too also looked at Aaron's booth.
"Hey Paulina, take it easy on him ok!" John said rushing to the booth defending Aaron.
"John, how could you defend him? He practically raped my sister!" Paulina said going off on John. John didn't know how he could defend Aaron even further until he remembered something.
"Hey Aaron, tell me this, before you met Joanna, how many beers did you have? I could smell the beer in your breath very well that night, it smelled like you had a good few." John asked Aaron recalling the stench coming from his mouth from the alcohol that Aaron consumed.
"I had a few." Aaron answered.
"Ok then, so you were intoxicated correct?" John asked Aaron another question.
"Yes." Aaron answered.
"And who started the conversation, Aaron or Joanna?" John asked Paulina.
"Joanna said she was the one who began the conversation." Paulina answered.
"And Joanna, did you know who Aaron was before you two started talking together?" Aaron asked Joanna this time.
"Yeah, he's Lucas Friar's son." Joanna answered him.
"Ok, how the hell did you know that without even meeting him?" John asked Joanna with a confused tone in his voice raising his eyebrows.
"Because he lashed out on someone, he said he was "Aaron fucking Friar" so I just connected the dots and I saw the relation that he really was Lucas Friar's son. And also because I thought he was pretty cute." Joanna answered truthfully.
"Wait a minute, so you started the conversation and did you know if Aaron had a few beers in his system?" Paulina asked now seeing John's point of view. Joanna nodded her head.
"Why Joanna!" Darren asked Joanna not too thrilled to see her answer her sister's question.
"Because sometimes I do hear you and my sister having sex whenever mom and dad weren't home and you guys seem to make it a fun time!" Joanna pointed out and answered Darren.
"Backup Joanna, there's a difference in the sex I have with your sister and the one you had with Aaron!" Darren told Joanna.
"He's right you know." John said agreeing with the star Basketball player.
"Ya Joanna, you should apologize to Aaron as well to coming onto him." Darren told Joanna.
"But babe, he practically raped her!" Paulina argued.
"Don't matter, she should've known what she was getting herself into! She consented even if Aaron was drunk! She too has to take some responsibility for what she did." Darren argued back.
"Hey, keep it down over there!" Vanessa told the teenagers.
"We will Aunt Vanessa!" Aaron called out to his Godmother.
"Listen Joanna, the sex you hear your sister and Darren have is one that is passionate and sincere." John told the young teenager.
"Ya Joanna, we've been together for 2 years now, we know we're ready to make that commitment to each other and trust each other. Having sex with someone you love should feel amazing." Paulina told her younger sister.
"And the one you had with Aaron was pretty dangerous and reckless since you too don't know each other, it was bound to happen. Heartache to follow after the act has been committed." John told Joanna as Joanna and Aaron both begin to feel guilty for their actions.
"So I'm not the only one at fault here?" Aaron asked John.
"No, both of you are. But Aaron man, I'm still disappointed in you." John told Aaron as he walked off.
"So I guess both of you should exchange apologizes. And I too should apologize to Aaron." Paulina said as she took her boyfriend's hand.
"Aaron, I'm sorry we accused you so quickly without hearing your side of the story, I should've heard your side and should not be so quick to judge. I was only protecting my sister." Paulina said apologizing to Aaron.
"It's ok Paulina, I forgive you." Aaron said forgiving Paulina.
"And I'm sorry to Joanna for hurting her, when we had sex, I had a broken heart and shouldn't have took it out on you." Aaron said now apologizing to Joanna.
"And Aaron, I'm sorry for coming onto you. I just wanted to feel the same thing Paulina and Darren do when they're together." Joanna said finally apologizing.
"And that target on my back, is it off?" Aaron asked wanting an insurance policy.
"Yes." Paulina answered for her sister. Aaron sighed with relief feeling a 1,000 pound weight of stress has finally rolled off his shoulders and can now rest easy without having to worry if someone was going to attack him.
"Ok then, it was great talking to you guys, but I need to get back to work ok. I'm still grounded for awhile and will be here. Take care you guys and why don't you try some Oreo Cheesecake. It's awesome!" Aaron told Darren and the Meyers as he also promoted the Oreo Cheesecake.
"Thanks Aaron, we'll give it a shot." Paulina told him as Aaron got out form the booth and went back into the kitchen to get back to working. Aaron watched on as he restocked the display cases at Joanna's booth where her, Paulina, and Darren were enjoying a slice of the Oreo Cheesecake he made earlier that day, he was thrilled to know they really liked it as they gave him a thumbs up before Aaron went back to the kitchen after loading up the display cases. Aaron was relieved that now he was in the good graces of some of John Adam's most popular students. Now there wasn't a target on his back and he could go back to his routine just fine.
The bakery finally closed up for the night as Aaron knew he had one more thing to take care of, getting his parent's permission to try out for the Junior Boys' Basketball Team! Aaron changed from his work clothes a pair of blue Nike shorts an undershirt. The time had arrived. He went to his parent's room. "Mom, Dad…Can I talk to you guys about something?" Aaron asked getting his parent's attention after knocking on the door.
"Ya sure bud, come in." Lucas said allowing his son to enter. Aaron stepped inside his parent's room and became nervous, knowing Riley and Lucas, Riley likely wouldn't allow Aaron to tryout since he was still grounded, as for Lucas, he was the deciding factor.
"So what's on your mind Aaron?" Riley asked her son.
"Well…I want your permission on something." Aaron told his parents getting hesitant to ask.
"What is it?" Lucas asked wondering what could be on his son's mind.
"I want to try out for the Junior Boy's Basketball Team!" Aaron said coming out with it.
"NO WAY!" Riley refused.
"I should've known that was coming." Aaron said knowing his mother's answer.
"Dad, what do you think?" Aaron asked his father.
"Well, you've been doing very well in basketball and I do see potential in you. When is the tryout?" Lucas asked his son.
"Next month." Aaron answered.
"Ok, you can tryout!" Lucas answered.
"Lucas?!" Riley exclaimed.
"What?" Lucas raised his voice trying to defend himself.
"Aaron is grounded and you still let him tryout?!" Riley exclaimed.
"Well I want him to test himself, although he LIKELY will make the team, there is a chance he can fail." Lucas said hoping his son doesn't take tryouts too lightly." Lucas told his wife.
"Uggghh! You are still grounded yourself mister!" Riley told her husband not pleased.
"I know, but I think now is the time Aaron show what he's made of." Lucas told his wife.
"Fine, he can tryout. But that means after practice, you go to the bakery, work and then go home and do your homework. I still want your average to be at least 80% You're a very smart kid Aaron, I know you can do anything but please. Be responsible on how you handle yourself and how you talk, how you act, and more." Riley preached to her son lecturing him how he holds himself.
"Yes mom." Aaron submitted to her will.
"And as for you!" Riley said turning to her husband crossing her arms.
"Yes honey?" Lucas said knowing he's in deep trouble.
"It's time for bed, you know what that means." Riley told her husband pointing out the door. Lucas pouted and grabbed a pillow walking out the door with Aaron behind him.
"Dad, what the is your punishment?" Aaron asked wondering.
"Well boy, I got to sleep on the couch. I'll tell you one thing about women, never get on their bad side." Lucas said making his way towards the couch where he would sleep for the night while Aaron slept on his bed.

Let's Talk (My fav part of any chapter!)
Rucas4Life: Well Lucas and Riley couldn't defend him because Riley was being consoled and actually although I forgot to write it but Lucas was working out with his teammates hence why he wasn't at the bakery. At least Aaron doesn't have a target on him anymore so that's a relief! Ruben and Stephen also found out about Aaron having a target on his back because in High School, word travels around fast and so eventually they got word too because of their connection to Aaron.
4ne1: Thank you so much for creating Travis Cooper and I'll be sure to put him in the story in some interesting situations! :)
Breakawayking57: Thanks for the creation of Ryan Garrick I'll make sure he's in the story and that his character is used well! :)
PS: Also I am still looking for OCs for Lucas' and Zay's teammates I am still looking for a player that is a Point Guard, Small Forward, and Center pelase refer to the outline and even the NBA's website to get a feel of how tall players are in the respective positions. Thanks so much in advance! :)
